The Department of Housing Preservation and Development states that 50% of the residential units must be rent stabilized and have rents below 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).

  • The remaining 50% of units can be rented at market rate.
  • There is no requirement that 100% of units must rent below 80% AMI.
  • The council member seeks clarification on this affordability restriction.
